# North Manchester RUFC

North Manchester Rugby Club (aka North Manchester RUFC) is an amateur sports club situated 5 miles north of the center of Manchester. It is the only rugby union club within the city of Manchester, north of the center.
Established originally in 1921 in Prestwich as Prestwich Rugby Union Football Club, the club moved to Rhodes Cricket Club in 1951 and changed its name to Prestwich & Middleton Rugby Union Football Club.
A further move in 1985, this time to the current ground Tudor Lodge in Moston saw the club rename again, this time to North Manchester RUFC. In 1991 the club merged with the struggling Oldham Colleges Rugby Union Football Club, maintaining the name of North Manchester.
